Australia’s first sovereign orbital rocket designed and built has finally cleared all regulatory hurdles, and now sits poised on the launchpad in Bowen as it waits out the mandatory notification
International researchers have found a giant planet transiting a very young star, in research that indicates this could be the youngest transiting planet found to date.
New analysis of marsquakes, which are similar to earthquakes, could offer clues into how Mars has evolved over billions of years, according to new research from The Australian National University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Researchers from the Curtin node of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research say they have made a record-breaking astrophysical discovery while simultaneously uncovering a possible explanation for the rare and extreme event known as long-period radio transients.
The Voyager 2 flyby of Uranus in 1986 may have occurred during a rare intense wind event, according to international researchers who say this means our scientific understanding of the planet may be flawed.
Astronauts perform tasks slower in space, but a new study involving 25 professional astronauts has found no evidence of brain damage once they returned to Earth.
Overseas researchers report new evidence suggesting the Moon is older than we previously thought thanks to a ‘remelting’ of the Moon’s surface around 4.35 billion years ago that may have masked a far older history.
New Curtin University-led research has uncovered what may be the oldest direct evidence of ancient hot water activity on Mars, revealing the planet may have been habitable at some point in its past.
Two new stars have been found dancing near the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole, according to international researchers, who say the binary star system was predicted to be there but has escaped detection until now.
A new paper published in Nature has revealed an international team has identified three ultra-massive galaxies – nearly as massive as the Milky Way – already in place within the first billion years after the Big Bang.
There’s a pioneering effort to replace the risks associated with in orbit manufacturing of drugs that’s about to touch down in South Australia after a second round of production in orbit.

NASA announced late last year it intends to award Blue Origin and SpaceX additional work under their existing contracts to develop landers that will deliver large pieces of equipment and infrastructure to the lunar surface. They expect to assign demonstration missions to these current human landing system providers to mature designs following the design certification reviews.
Detailed observations of a low-mass galaxy known as Firefly Sparkle that formed when the Universe was around 600 million years old provides insights into early galaxy formation, according to international researchers.
To maximize chances of successfully bringing the first Martian rock and sediment samples to Earth for the benefit of humanity, NASA has announced a new approach to its Mars Sample Return Program.
Io doesn’t have a shallow global magma ocean beneath its surface, contrary to what was previously thought, despite the fact that it’s the most volcanically active body in the solar system according to international researchers..
It’s the end of the third week of March 2025. Here’s the science and space
Astronauts often experience immune dysfunction, skin rashes, and other inflammatory conditions while travelling in space, and international researchers believe these issues are likely due to the overly sterile nature of the International Space Station.
Australia’s first state government funded satellite, Kanyini, has delivered its first images from space, marking
Data from NASA’s InSight mission suggest Mars has a liquid core similar to Earth’s, but European scientists say the core may be solid, at least below a certain temperature.
Scientists have successfully used lasers to identify microbe fossils in rocks from Earth, which are like the rocks found on Mars, opening up the possibility of searching for fossils on the Red Planet.
International scientists, including an Australian, say they’ve found evidence of the highest-energy neutrino detected to date. The result suggests the particle came from beyond our Milky Way, they say, although its precise origin remains mysterious.
